This week has been full of it.

It kicked off with the 'submission' talks at Pun's Young Adults Bible Study on Monday. Yes, we submit to God, because He is God. And why wouldn't we? He knows what is best and 'works for the good of those who love him' (Romans 8:28), and we obey our human fathers believing they are thinking of our best interests so yeah, that one's pretty plain.

Then comes the wives to husbands. You see, I haven't really bothered thinking about this much, seeing as:
1. I'm not much of a thinker
(I probably was one of those dumb but happy babies :D).
2. I don't see that this will involve me at any time in the near future.

Therefore, like anything else, I've left it till later, thinking I'll look at it at the last moment. Mind you, I have looked at Proverbs 31 quite thoroughly, seeing as on first glance it looked like I had a long long way to go...

I mean com'on she "works with eager hands... gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family... she sets about her work vigorously... and does not eat the bread of idleness..." Initially it looks like I have to be someone else!!! On a more detailed look it turns out the 'wife of noble character' should be God focused, and godly, so that's ok, it's working towards the same goal as now, not a completely different one. *phew*

Back to the husband/wife thing... It has been thought through by some very thoroughly, and I got to leach off Pun's hard work - see her blog for my current thoughts! :P ( I know... So lazy...)

Yesterday, discussion of the 'fourth, unwritten object of the EU' came about: For those who don't know what the objects of the EU are, they basically stand as:
1. Evangelism
2. Encouragement
3. Educating eachother on Christian service
4. Endeavour to find a life partner. There. It's written ok?
Needless to say I only signed up for 3.
(Apart from the fact that the 4th is 'unwritten')
I was asked what Biblical evidence there was for the 4th object... I felt like saying... "Really man, why ask me? I can give you plenty against it..." but instead as a joke gave reference to - out of contextly - Pun's favorite verse... :P

Following this, last night in Japanese class, our teacher was discussing Japanese customs and was saying how Jap husbands may come home, take off their shoes at the door, and just say "Cha" (tea) or "furo" (bath) or "shinbun" (newspaper) to their wives... You should have seen me and Esther, as though synchronised, raising our hands and performing a slapping motion. Needless to say the whole class cracked up... :P I must say, to counter this trend, also in the last couple of weeks there have been more advances than usual. Maybe that's what's inducing me to feel even more feministic?
